...is that from experience?...

LOL Jason!

However, I would put in a word for sheepskin mattress pads (sans magnets). I got a SNUGFLEECE brand sheepskin and I *know* that I sleep much more soundly - and it saved me from having to buy a new mattress.

Personally, I find a warm (human) body the best defense against a cold night. :)

Agreed! A live animal (human) is better than a dead one.

I live in Australia and I have to say it never gets cold enough down here for those very useful suggestions from Abby, although that said, I do take a hot water bottle to bed in the depths of Winter. However, I can say that I used to have a woolen underlay, and it was actually very scratchy, not pleasant at all. But I've never heard of magnetised woollen underlays...can't say where that wacky idea came from but they certainly don't retail here in the mainstream department stores.

You poor cynical people! The magnets actually do work, but you have to douse them liberally with genuine snake oil in order to their therapeutic effects to be fully realized. If yours didn't work, you must have been using them wrong.

word to the wise....anything that supposedly "cleans out TOXINS" is total bs...your body is pretty good about getting rid of any so called "toxins" that could do you any harm.

A hot bath and a few hot flashes are all I need to keep warm at night. Oh, and my hot husband and the 3 cats.

I find it disturbing that AT -- in its quest to sell housewares -- will not only post but RE-post scientific claims that are doubtful at best and fraudulent at worst.

If "we" at AT promote pseudo-science as truth even in the face of strong debunking evidence, how does this reflect on the site's pronouncements about what's "green"?
